The
final part of the trilogy brings the tall, TALL tale of Simon Moss, Whippet Willow and Lucy Shufflebottom to an end ... and it does it in STYLE!

While exploring Castle Fearless, our three brave adventurers track down the source
of the comic creatures that have been wreaking havoc on Lake Shore. But what does this have to do with the Freaky and Fearless comic
creators, the Library of WOW, Lucy's latest invention and Mossy's dad?
All is revealed as the kids explore a new dimension of reality and T-Rex
and The Captain finally reveal their true identities.

If you're yet to experience this series, now's the time. With
out-of-this-world artwork by the mighty Jan Bielecki, FREAKY & FEARLESS is a fun-filled series of madness, imagination and adventure, perfect for fans of Tom Gates!

More Freaky news incoming soon, but if you just can't wait, why not read MASSIVE FREE CHAPTERS from books 1 and 2 HERE and HERE?!

Today's tutorial request came via email from Naomi Anfisa who asked for a tutorial on FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. Another big topic this, so I'm going to divide it into different expressions, starting today with ANGRY FACES. We'll get into other emotions and expressions in future tutorials.

My huge new series of tutorials continues! This one is a request from Krishna Sadasivam (@pcweenies over onINSTAGRAM) who asked for a tutorial on VEHICLES. Obviously vehicle design is a MASSIVE topic, so I'm going to split it up, today focusing on using the stance of your vehicle to establish personality and drive style. I'll be getting into other elements of designing and drawing vehicles in future tutorials.
